CIMA Sports Day 2016, a two-day sports extravaganza organized by the CIMA Students’ Society, will take place for the 20th successive occasion on the 10th and 17th of June.
The CIMA Sports Day is one of the most celebrated events in the CIMA Students’ Society calendar which brings together more than 1,000 CIMA students, students who have completed exams, ACMA members and other students who pursue various professional and academic qualifications and employees representing corporate organizations as well.
Organized this year under the theme “Get Your Game On”, the first leg of Sports Day 2016 was held on the 10th of July at the Henry Pedris Basketball Courts. Catering to the basketball enthusiasts out there, the first leg comprised solely of basketball.
The second leg of Sports Day will unfold on the 17th of July, at the Bloomfield Grounds. This day will offer a wider array of sports; namely cricket, tag rugby, futsal, and netball.
The 17th of July will also exhibit another flair of Sports Day; the Urban Challenge.
Urban Challenge, a combination of a bit of both a scavenger hunt and a race, is designed particularly for the non-participants among the audience who are present during the day. This will test the participants in many aspects, be it your ability to make swift, hard decisions under pressure, or to uncover clues and crack codes along the way, all whilst pitting against other teams who would be competing towards ticking off the list of challenges first.
As for the winners of Sports Day 2015, under the corporate category KPMG clinched the trophy for futsal, whereas team APIIT was the winners for cricket.
Ultimately the Overall Champions Shield in 2015 was awarded to Wisdom Business Academy for the second consecutive year, having amassed an overall score of 87.15. Achievers Lanka Business School were the Runners Up with 74.8 points.
